Hi John,
As we reach the end of pride month this year, it is important to remember the connections between the LGBTQ+ community, their fight for justice, and the necessity of self-managed abortion with pills. Anyone can self-manage their abortions, and many choose to specifically for the comfort and safety of their own homes, particularly when the medical system has not always been supportive or affirming of all communities. Learn more about the protocol for self-managed abortion with pills here.

Why do we love self-managed abortion with pills?
1. “As it gets harder and harder to access abortion, self-managed abortion becomes even more essential as another option for people to have control over their bodies and their lives.” – Molly, 34, Virginia
2. "I support self-managed abortion because true abortion access means everyone can access abortion and can have their abortion in a setting that feels safe and comfortable for them. All too often this means avoiding a medical system that is financially and physically inaccessible and a site of historical and present systems of oppression.” – Maddy, 21, DC.
